Double wishbones + rear drive! BYD SEAL Zero Hundred Accelerates by 3.8 Seconds for Tesla?

BYD's sales of medium and large sedans have exceeded 160,000 units, which is not easy for a new energy vehicle with a price range of 214,800-284,500, of which the EV pure electric version also accounts for most of the sales, and the demand is stronger than the DM hybrid version.

However, if you consider friends who are starting a han during this time, the professor suggests that you first look at this new mid-size car of BYD - seals. As a member of the Marine series, the new car may be officially released in the near future and launched within the year.

Interestingly, the seal is an electric car, and the price is expected to be 220,000-280,000 yuan. This price just overlaps with the price of Han, the so-called buy new does not buy old, the characteristics of the two products are so close, so how should it be chosen?

See the new car in one minute:

1. The new car adopts marine theme design

2. Available in single and dual motor versions

3. For the first time, the suspension adopts the front double wishbones + rear 5 connecting rods

Seal is based on BYD's e-platform 3.0, while Han EV is e-platform 2.0, the former has a higher degree of integration of the power system, has the advantages of small footprint and lightweight, while the scope of OTA is larger, and the degree of intelligence is not easy to lag behind.

According to the previous SEAL body-in-white, it is also very likely to have a CTC design that integrates the battery and the body, that is, the battery is directly on the local plate, so that it can accommodate a larger battery to improve the endurance.

The SEAL's body size is 4800/1875/1460mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2920mm. The Han was 4980/1910/1495 and had the same wheelbase.

Since Han is an oil-electric compatible chassis, the space utilization rate is not as good as the pure electric car of the SEAL, but given that the Han is longer and wider, it can make up for this problem to a certain extent.

The design of the seal is relatively new, because of the concept car Ocean-X modeling ideas, integrated with the elements of the sea, the active tone is different from the Han Dynasty series is more stable, here there is also the Gragon Face is the reason for the former Audi designer Egger, obviously the seal is not from his hand.

The new car's simple closed front face, the huge air vents on both sides, coupled with the new platform A-pillar backwards and the rear design of the rear, the more streamlined shape believes that the wind resistance coefficient will be lower than Han's 0.23Cd.

The C-shaped headlights and through-the-taillights at the front of the car are very special, and the rear bumper and spreader shape make the rounded body feel more sporty. The side waist line is rich in layering, and the upward waist line creates a forward swooping posture, but unfortunately, the air port of the fender is only a decorative piece and has no practical effect.

In terms of power, according to the declaration information, SEAL will provide 150kW single motor, 230kW single motor, 160kW/230kW dual motor four-wheel drive three combinations of optional, 0-100km/h The fastest acceleration time will reach 3.8 seconds, and the whole series is equipped with lithium iron phosphate blade batteries.

The han EV's single motor is 163kW, and the dual motor is 163kW/200kW, and the power is slightly weaker.

Given that the wheelbase of the two cars is the same, the battery capacity will not be too different, the SEAL is more powerful and energy-intensive, but the e-platform 3.0 is more energy-efficient, so the professor expects that the endurance of the new car will be at the same level as the Han EV. The standard endurance version is 506km, long endurance 605km, and dual motor 550km.

The SEAL single motor version adopts the form of rear drive, the front motor is an AC asynchronous motor, the rear is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, and for the first time, the design of the front double wishbone rear 5 linkage is adopted, which is different from the front drive of Han and the front McPherson rear four linkage.

Judging from the SEAL's more compact body, sporty styling design, stronger power, rear-wheel drive, and suspension form, although it overlaps with The Han's price point, the SEAL is clearly a product that pays more attention to youthful sports.

Electric vehicles of 220,000-280,000 yuan will be more or less related to young sports, such as the appearance of personality, a sense of technology and good power. The benchmark for this price point is of course the Tesla Model 3, and it is believed that seals' lower entry price and larger body size can grab some users from it.

27.99-36.79 million

The most direct competitor will be xiaopeng P7, which is where seals need to learn in terms of intelligence in automatic driving, but I believe that seals' interiors will also have a good sense of technology.

23.99-42.99 million yuan

From the design and parameter specifications of the seal, it can be seen that it is different from the cars built by BYD in the past. Once BYD wanted to become a brand like Audi, the main luxury, which can be found in Han, but the overall product tone of the seal feels more lively, it is a completely different product, and it is also the main task of the Ocean series, which conforms to the trend of car rejuvenation.
